Readers Meet the Author, presented by the Office of the President and Office of the Provost and hosted by the University Libraries, encourages opportunities for faculty, staff, students, and others to gather for shared reflection and collegial conversation about big ideas. Featuring recently published single-authored works by Baylor faculty selected by Baylor Provost Nancy Brickhouse, Ph.D., each opportunity to meet the author consists of an introduction from either the Provost or Baylor President Linda A. Livingstone, Ph.D., followed by a discussion with the author facilitated by a colleague or contemporary and a question-and-answer session with attendees.

The first Readers Meet the Author selection for 2024-2025 is "Turning Points in American Church History: How Pivotal Events Shaped a Nation and a Faith" (Baker Academic, 2024) by Dr. Elesha J. Coffman, Professor of History. She will be interviewed by Dr. Elizabeth Flowers, Associate Professor of American Religion, on October 22, 2024, from Noon - 1:00 p.m. in the Schumacher Flex Commons in Moody Memorial Library and online via Zoom Webinar. A reception with refreshments and a book signing will follow. The Baylor Bookstore will sell copies of the book at the event.
